Disruptive technologies, ideas, and politicians are challenging business models, norms, and political conventions everywhere. How we, as leaders in business and politics, choose to respond matters greatly. Some voices refuse to concede the need for any change, while others advocate for radical realignment. But neither of these positions can sustainably address the legitimate concerns of disaffected citizens. Right Here, Right Now sets out a forward-looking vision by analyzing how economic, social, and public policy trends have affected our economies, communities, and governments. Mr. Harper contends that Donald Trump's surprise election victory and governing agenda clearly signal that political, economic, and social institutions must be more responsive to legitimate concerns about market policies, trade, globalization, and immigration. Urging readers to look past questions of style and gravitas, Mr. Harper thoughtfully examines the substantive underpinnings of how and why Donald Trump was able to succeed Barack Obama as President of the United States, and how these forces are manifesting themselves in several other western democracies. Analyzing international trade, market regulation, immigration, technology, and the role of government in the digital economy, Harper lays out the case for pragmatic conservative leadership as a proven solution to the uncertainty and risk that businesses and governments face today. 650 0 $a Conservatism. 650 0 $a Political leadership. 650 0 $a Populism. 650 0 $a Globalization. 650 0 $a Economics. 650 0 $a Social history $y 21st century. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190202012421.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5A5CA402F79311E8BA923B1497128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
